| I found this plant in the mountians of northern california. I am assuming it is a fern because it developed a fiddelhead for new growth. Can anyone identify this?

| It's not a fern, though for the LIFE of me, I can't recall the name. Perhaps you could post the image in the Name This Plant Forum, right here in the GardenWeb. |

| Looks similar to Foxtail Fern, Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyersii', not a fern, but a member of the Liliaceae Family and often grown as a houseplant. Rb |

| I am going to guess that your picture is of Pellaea brachyptera, from the drawing and description in Hoshizaki and Moran's "Fern Grower's Manual". There are a lot of Pellaea species here in the western US. I'd love to try to grow some of the California native ones from spore... |

| Well... a) it isn't a fern, certainly not Pellaea brachyptera; Patrick Alexander |

| It does look like a young yarrow plant, my other thought was that it's a bit like the young growth of Nigella damascena |
